mstdn.intahnet.co.ukThree of my mini-PC power supplies have died over the last 2–3 months.
That’s half my #K8S cluster unavailable right now. 😓
All three nodes are old Optiplex 3010s, and their #QuickSync support isn’t great anyway. Right now #Plex / #Jellyfin is pinned to a single node with the “newest” CPU for transcoding.
Debating whether to replace the PSUs or just upgrade the dead nodes to newer mini-PCs.

infosec.exchangeMy NAS is getting old, I wonder if I could use an old workstation machine stuffed with SAS disks.
$500 workstation Lenovo p520
$75 8tb SAS enterprise refurbish
I wouldn't have parity in storage but reliable backups can protect anything important.
